i hate to be this way, but
www.bladeforums.com has an overall attitude that i see as very negative.
doesnt seem as friendly as here.
there are some good people there, but they seem to be few and far between.
but like i say all this is just my opinion.
my preferred knife forum is
www.knifeforums.com
nice people there, dont think i have ever seen anyone get kicked without a lot, and i mean a lot of warning to shape up before hand.
good people there and more than willign to help.
very freindly there too, not many flamers.
pretty much the same attitude as here int hat respect.
look for me there under m_d_atwood.
